THE Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, will flag off a N750 million financial intervention scheme tagged ‘Lagos Market Trader Money’ for 15,000 beneficiaries on Wednesday, February 14.
According to media reports, this information was disclosed by Ms Abisola Olusanya, the Lagos State Commissioner for Agriculture, during a sensitisation programme on hygiene for 500 market men and women from Ikeja and Oshodi LGAs on Saturday at Lagos Fresh Food Hub, Idi-Oro, Mushin.
Ms Olusanya said the flag-off was an opportunity for the Governor to demonstrate his love for the market men and women on Valentine’s Day.
“By Wednesday, Valentine’s Day, Mr Governor is going to be showing love to market traders, men and women in Lagos.
“He promised them N50,000 per beneficiary for 15,000 people for the Lagos Market Trader Money; he is going to be launching it on that day.
“It is part of his show of love to say we hear you, we hear your cry, we are all in this together and we will come out of this better and stronger,” she stated.
Recall that Sanwo-Olu had on December 18, 2023, announced a N750 million financial intervention scheme for Lagos traders tagged ‘Lagos Trader Money,’ where 15,000 traders across all the LGAs of the State – 200 from each LGA – will receive N50,000 each to boost their businesses.
